Killing people is entertainment to the sociopaths in the White House. Decency demands that we resist this.

Trump administration officials scrambled Friday to explain away the latest horrendous jobs numbers, but couldn’t conjure up more than blaming the weather or fake numbers. trib.al/GbXN0SR

I will miss Kristi Noem's inimitable constitutional insights, as when, asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. at a Senate hearing to define "habeas corpus," she replied, "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Pete Hegseth Complains Reporting On Dead Troops Is Trying To 'Make The President Look Bad' The defense secretary bemoaned the “tragic things” that make “front page news.”

“He had a feeling” is a crazy reason to start a war

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told Drop Site that it’s “pretty clear” both Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump want to “distract people from looking at the Epstein files and asking more pointed questions.” Asked about Secretary Rubio’s claim that the U.S. struck Iran because Israel planned to attack, Warren added: “Israel has been trying for 40 years to get the United States to attack Iran… Donald Trump is the first guy who got manipulated into sending in our warfighters.” “We know for sure that Netanyahu led and Donald Trump followed.” @JulianAndreone | @SenWarren

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

Soldier Details Chilling Messaging From Higher-Ups About ‘God’s Plan’ In Iran: ‘It Shocked Many Of Us’ One commander had a “big grin” on his face while saying Donald Trump “has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran," a service member said.

This is a really disturbing read. They are viewing the war as a godly mission and the felon as the anointed one. They are trying to bring on the end days.

Trump’s Case for War With Iran Faces Growing Scrutiny U.S. intelligence showed threats from Iran loomed, as they had for years. But they were not imminent.

"U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information ... say the administration’s assertions are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong."

- Wall Street Journal

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

I’m a broken record on this but Trump’s entire plan was clearly “kick them in the face, collect praise from Twitter, walk away.” From his perspective it’s always worked before. It seemingly never occurred to them that they may not be able to walk away.

The evidence is strong that Trump’s central claims about Iran are false, not merely that they haven’t been sufficiently explained to lawmakers. trib.al/NBVX56S

The U.S. officials planning to attack Iran are the same ones who mistakenly brought a reporter into their Signal chat where they discussed an upcoming attack on Houthi rebels.
Nobody got fired and they moved on to new misadventures, such as murdering 150+ people on the high seas and now … Iran.

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

Why prices won't drop after the Trump tariff ruling, according to economists The Supreme Court struck down President Trump's signature tariffs. But the president has other tariff tools, and consumers shouldn't expect cheaper prices anytime soon, economists say.

NPR tells us what we already know. Price Stickiness is a real thing. The Republican Party has pushed the price up of everything from a pickup truck to an avocado sky-high. Those prices aren't going down ever.

The Golden Age for the rich has arrived.

The FBI Director took a four-day trip to Italy on the taxpayers’ dime—but the actual contents of the visit had little to do with serving the American public. Alongside “a handful of meet-and-greets," he enjoyed hours of down time that included private meals and “cultural activities.” trib.al/c8Bw3qF

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

A very low energy performance by Trump. His basic message for the 2026 midterm elections is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat.

Midterm message:

If the suspect’s family didn’t turn him in, he’d probably still be on the loose thanks to Keystone Kash.

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

A reminder that fake voter fraud and false claims of election rigging were always the plan. Here’s a direct message from Assange to Don Jr way back in 2016.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

You could make this up, but you don’t need to.
